Corporate Awards & Employee Recognition

Run your company's annual awards, quarterly MVP shoutouts, or team recognition event straight from a browser tab. Project it in the all-hands meeting or share your screen on a video call — no design software or AV team required.

Announce tournament winners, MVPs, and leaderboard placements with a reveal built for streaming and Discord watch parties — instant, on-brand, and shareable on screen.

Creative Competitions

Art competition winners, hackathon prize reveals, design challenge podiums, and film festival award ceremonies — build suspense before each winner is announced.

Team Recognition Events

Celebrate work anniversaries, project wins, and peer-nominated shoutouts with a reveal moment that makes recognition feel intentional, not just another slide in a deck.

Where is my data stored?

All your ceremony data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server — your data stays on your device.

What is the Top 10 Podium feature?

Top 10 Podium lets you create a ranked leaderboard for up to 20 winners with portrait photos, names, and titles. Choose from three layouts — podium with ranked list, trophy grid, or parade row — then reveal winners from last place to first with dramatic animations and shimmer effects. Perfect for sales leaderboards, gaming tournaments, and student rankings.

Top 10 Podium — Ranked Leaderboard Maker

Create a ranked leaderboard for your top 5, 10, 15, or 20 winners. Add portrait photos, names, and titles for each position.

Reveal winners from last place to first with dramatic animations, shimmer effects, confetti, and sound effects.

Top 5 Podium

Perfect for quick award reveals — five winners displayed on a podium with dramatic reveal from 5th to 1st place.

Parade Row Layout

Showcase all winners in a horizontal procession — a parade-style row where every winner is visible at a glance. The first-place winner stands taller with a shimmer effect, making it perfect for sales team rankings, tournament brackets, and team awards where you want everyone on screen together.
